Yes, it was in late 2007 or early 2008. The bought the RCA components business first, followed by the rest (except for Europe). I found a few references with Google, including this one.ThomasM said:How did you find this out? Was it posted somewhere on the web?
The Dash number on the model denotes mfr.PaulieP said:Hmm, kind of an odd question but I was curious...
What companies are making the current STB's for DirecTV?
I know Thomson is in there to some degree, but are Humax and Samsung still making boxes for them? Who makes the HR20/HR21?
thanks
Thomson still manufactures set-top boxes, but everything with the RCA brand has been licensed to third parties. The audio/video line is Audiovox, and most if not all of the TV line is made by TCL in China through a Thomson/TCL joint venture names TTE.bobnielsen said:Yes, it was in late 2007 or early 2008.

Also see http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=91378&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1091106&highlight=. This indicates that televisions and some other (unspecified) products were not included, so now I am a bit confused.
